Hey Brendan,

Great as always.  I do think you're overemphasizing the brutal aspects, and
it's getting harsher, but that's a religious debate I don't want to get into
here.  I'll focus on the building:

God kills 24000:  That idol is great.  Very good use of some odd parts.  What
is the part at the very top?  The unfocused tents in the background of the next
few shots is a nice detail.  The walking stick works well as a spear plunged
through the two bodies.  Coming right after a picture where Phineas was
carrying the full length spear, the illusion works out well.  The variety of
Vader, Frankenstein, Snape, and Troll heads works well for the bodies.  It
seems like they're in partial states of decay already.

Midianites:  Good color scheme.  I really like how you came up with five
different torsos that fit the color scheme for the kings.  Interesting gallows.
Again, the broken sword makes a good illusion.  Oh, I forgot to mention it
above, but using the 1x1 tile upside down with the weapon sticking in also
really helps the illusion.  Nice town--both the few buildings full size and
then the micro town burning in the background.

Instructions:  Eh.  Not much here.  It kind of reminds me of the stories from
Mt. Sinai that were all talking cloud.

Moses dies:  The first several frames have that same problem.  I really like
the Moses writing scene, though.  Lots of details there.  How are those table
legs at odd angles?  I'm impressed by your number and variety of baseplates in
the scene with Moses looking out over the Promised Land.  The final scene is
very simple but very effective.  Of course, if God had put up a gravestone, I
doubt it would have gone unfound "to this day."  :)

On across the Jordan!

Bruce
